Lowdown Dirty by Holley Trent
4.0
This was a very pleasant read. I was expecting a super erotic, hot lunber-sexual, BDSM romance. And this was 2 out of 3.
I felt the chemistry between Tim and Valerie right away. I thought it was hilarious that her sister and her new friend talked behind her back and tricked her into gong to the kink club. I felt for her reasons about letting the scene go. How she thinks it is no longer conducive to her career goals and that she needs to put it aside. Especially since she had some poor experiences with Doms in the past.
Tim is aching for a future family. He has an ex-wife who is a lesbian and his best friend and they share an 18-year-old son who causes them nothing but trouble and is not the easiest to explain to any woman who might be willing to give him a chance.
He hasn't found a woman or a submissive who wants to be that for him or that he wants to. Then he meets Valerie and though she says she wants nothing to do with him, the connection is undeniable. He is willing to take the time to convince her.
This novel was very sexy however; it also isn't dropping you in the deep-end of BDSM. I highly recommend it if you want to ease your way into a romance involving these elements. There were obviously scenes showcasing some aspects of the lifestyle but nothing that was overly shocking or hard to stomach if you are a newby. In fact, the author does a great job of showing how negotiation works and how to discuss limitations and expectations that more hard-core novels just assume you would know.
I give this novel 4 stars, because I was expecting more of the scene to be acted out in it and it ended right as things were getting good. But I really recommend it if you want to ease your way in!
